A New Me

I went to Anewme last year and don’t know why it took me so long to write this review other than the fact that I’m just pissed at what happened to my body.
I presume the diet works, what diet wouldn’t work when you eat 500 calories a day? yes, that’s what it is, 500 calories, no exercise, HCG shots which I think is pregnant womens urine, and vitamin B-​12.
I hate to knock companies, but when you go on this diet you will lose weight but you will have a price to pay when you go off. we all know that diets don’t work and this is just a quick fix.
supposedly the shots burn off 2500 fat calories a day, therefore if you are eating 500 calories and burning 2500 the weight melts off. mine didn’t, I probably ate 700 – 800 calories a day, but I was hungry. so I didn’t lose the claimed pound a day, I lost ½ pound a day. So in approx 45 days I lost 20 lbs. oh boy. I need to lose so much more! Then if you rejoin in 6 wks, yes you have to stay off the shots for 6 wks or they won’t work again, they will give you a discount of $ 100 off. I doubt many take them up on this anyway, but who knows.
But here is my complaint. I didn’t gain all the weight back, but I got fat in places I never was fat. I gained back about 7 of the 20 lbs and looked like I gained 40. I became blubbery, must have been all those 2500 fat calories piling up on my body, saying where are my shots???
There was also a woman there pushing laxitives EVERYDAY!!! yes, very unhealthy. I told the director about it and they said they would talk to her. yikes! It’s diets like this that make us crazy.
I don’t remember how long ago I was there, but I am now about 10 lbs heavier and miserable, more so then when I went there. So the extra fat that builds up stays on.
Also, they don’t follow up with you, I found myself on my own to come in when I thought I should. they don’t call you, check up on you or make you come in. the only time is when you have to go have them mix your shot solution that they can’t dispense there, they have it mailed to you from some clinic and then you bring it in for them to make up. very strange! And the doctor is not a dietician, she is into some kind of wellness medicine and lives out of town.
My suggestion, eat less, exercise and stay away from these quick fix diets!
